Here’s an excerpt from one of the post’s comments, said by u/yeahmynameisbrian.
“More info. (https://www.cbsnews.com/dfw/news/sliding-street-racer-slams-into-power-pole-saturday/) It was illegal street racers. EDIT: If it matters it doesn't look like they were racing, they took over an intersection and were doing donuts and other stuff. It happened in Dallas and apparently shutting down intersections like this is a reoccurring thing there.
They turn busy intersections into racetracks, shutting them down to perform stunts in the middle of the night. Fueled by social media, it’s called sliding – and, just after midnight Saturday, it went wrong at the intersection of Northwest Highway and Preston Road. The driver careened into an Oncor power pole, which spewed sparks as it crashed to the ground.
“It’s unbelievable. I mean, I’m shocked,” said Brenna Stroup, who manages her grandparents’ shoe store, E.G.Gellar, just steps away from the intersection. “I see it in other parts of town, but to have it right here near our store. We’ve had cars nearly crash into our store before, so that could have easily happened.”
